Study Details
Treating Pregnant People with Depression during Pregnancy
(IRB#: IRB_00166560)
Depression is a very common and serious medical condition during pregnancy. This study wants to explore a mental health treatment called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy- Rumination Focused (CBT-RF) as an option for pregnant people who are already receiving an approved treatment called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatment (TMS) for depression. TMS stimulates the brain using a non-harmful electrical current when wearing a type of cap on top of a persons head. People in the study will be interviewed, answer surveys, meet with a licensed therapist, participate in therapy for CBT-RF, and participate in fMRI scans. An fMRI is like a large, spinning magnet machine that rapidly creates pictures of the brain. Being in the study requires up to 10 visits to the clinic for about 6 weeks. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants. Participants will be paid for being in the study.
